Oh man. That gold-tinged fur, those green eyes, and the SPOTS. I usually prefer girl kitties, but he's up there with glorious floofy Pat in my rare boy kitty crushes. :-)
And the roundness of his belly kinda gives new meaning to the word "belly"! Did you have him in unusual light or is he really as spectacularly beautiful as he seems? (Objective answer, please.)
You have no idea how often I have to remind myself after seeing pictures of Alvin that adopting another kitten is NOT a good idea. TWO cats is the limit! TWO! Oh my gosh, he is the cutest.
And he has spotted front legs, too! His colouring really is out of ordinary (and tabbies seem to have neat rows of regularly space belly spots - not him).
"Oddly-shaped little feller" Hee-hee :-) I was trying to think of what his shape reminded me of. A football? A summer squash? An eggplant?? I don't know. Whatever it is, I want to kiss it's rather round and firm spotted belly.
He's soo cute! Little bunny legs tucked under his little eggplant body, aaww!!!! Post him to australia immediately! Or just give him and the other kitties great big hugs and super dooper squishes from me...us. Thankyou!
I love, love, love the first pic of Alvin. It looks like a painting and reminds me of something but I can't think what it is and it's driving me crazy.

All other kittens posted are graduates. Please check back frequently for newbies and updates!
First, please read The Purpose and The Process below.
If you're in the Tacoma/Seattle vicinity, send me an email with a little information about your household - its residents, human and otherwise, and anything else you think might be pertinent.
The kittens featured here came to the shelter without moms, and are fostered until ready for adoption, usually at 8-10 weeks of age.
Every effort is made to find each kitten the best family based on it's unique personality and the adopters' home environment.
Sending them off in pairs is ideal. Click here to learn why.
Happy kittens and happy adopters are equally important.
The Process
Visits with the kittens can be scheduled once they're settled in and at least six weeks old. If a match is made, the wee ones can go home within a day or two of being neutered.
Surgery is scheduled when the kittens reach 2 months and 2 pounds. They will also be microchipped, receive their initial vaccines and FeLV test before heading home.
Visits and adoptions are done at The Humane Society in Tacoma. All HS policies and procedures apply.
The Truth About Declawing
Most of us are aware of the inhumanity involved in declawing kitties. Learn the facts here and share them at every opportunity.
Lots of people simply don't know. It's our duty to educate them.
Thank you!
I have been volunteering and fostering kittens for the Humane Society since early 2006, and a part-time Veterinary Assistant there since June of 2010.
I am ridiculously fortunate to have the opportunity to do what fulfills me and makes me happy.
Alvin has joined Martin from Love & Hisses as the only blog-kitties I'd ever really truly consider adopting. Good gravy, he's cute!
ReplyDeleteAnon ~ There's nothing I could post here that would do him justice. He's in a league of his own. Srsly.
ReplyDeleteO dear Alvin....I am seeing spots before my eyes and I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, handsome little kitty man
Oh my...that is one seriously round, spotty (and now hairy!) little belly! Alvin...you are one gorgeous little man >^..^<
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Alvin is so sweet that he even looks like he was dipped in honey! *snorgles*
ReplyDeleteAlvin should have entered the OK Cats' tummy contest. My guess is he would have been the winner for sure, in spite of a lot of very floofy bellies.
ReplyDeleteAt first we thought you had a typo in the title to the post, meaning Belly Shots. He he he!
Oh man. That gold-tinged fur, those green eyes, and the SPOTS. I usually prefer girl kitties, but he's up there with glorious floofy Pat in my rare boy kitty crushes. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh those belly spots!!! I must come to SeaTac for you, Alvie!!! You tempt me so!
ReplyDeleteAnd the roundness of his belly kinda gives new meaning to the word "belly"! Did you have him in unusual light or is he really as spectacularly beautiful as he seems? (Objective answer, please.)
ReplyDeleteIt is a glorious belly, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHow clever of you to provide Alvin with a chocolate background in order to make the belly spots GLOW with cuteness!
ReplyDeleteserious cuteness - those big green eyes just add to the effect!!!
ReplyDeleteAnne ~ No special lighting. He has very beautiful and rather unusual coloring. I've been told it's similar to a Bengal. I have no idea if that's true.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how often I have to remind myself after seeing pictures of Alvin that adopting another kitten is NOT a good idea. TWO cats is the limit! TWO! Oh my gosh, he is the cutest.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, belly spots. Random belly spots.
ReplyDeleteAnd he has spotted front legs, too! His colouring really is out of ordinary (and tabbies seem to have neat rows of regularly space belly spots - not him).
I think the was a large cucumber way back in his family.
ReplyDeletehow could you have not posted a warning!! I mean I almost fell down dead from the overwhelming cuteness of it all. MAN he's a killer..
ReplyDeleteHe looks a little like a Bengal, does he have the personality?
He's an oddly-shaped little feller, isn't he? Or is his belly just overly big? And cute? I'll say. Terminally cute.
ReplyDeleteIt has further ocurred to me: when Alvin is finally up for adoption, you will have to have a lottery!
ReplyDelete"Oddly-shaped little feller" Hee-hee :-)
ReplyDeleteI was trying to think of what his shape reminded me of. A football? A summer squash? An eggplant?? I don't know. Whatever it is, I want to kiss it's rather round and firm spotted belly.
sister jean: I think eggplant is pretty accurate :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to join Alvinholics anonymous.
ReplyDeleteAlso, spots on leetle paws. EEEE
Mr. Belly Dots makes me fuzzy in the brain.
@Sister Jean: You nailed it. He is TOTALLY an eggplant. An adorable spotted monkeykitteh eggplant.
ReplyDeleteHe is an adorable little burrito!
ReplyDeleteHe's soo cute! Little bunny legs tucked under his little eggplant body, aaww!!!!
ReplyDeletePost him to australia immediately! Or just give him and the other kitties great big hugs and super dooper squishes from me...us. Thankyou!
How can he not be adopted yet?!
ReplyDeleteAlvin you are so cute!!!!!!!! Love the spots and his little round belly. How is our little boy doing? Hope he continues to do well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue! I love seeing Alvin belleh!
ReplyDeleteI think he looks a lot like a Bengal with his large knuckly paws, coloring and nose.
I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up looking a lot like this (with neutering, of course)!
I never was an eggplant fan -- until now!!!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the first pic of Alvin. It looks like a painting and reminds me of something but I can't think what it is and it's driving me crazy.
